Ep. 11 - From Melancholic Anthems to Metal Music Creation: A Life of Travel and Transformation

A Life in Six Songs

Send us a text

Join us as we explore the musical journey of Stefan Nordström, metal vocalist & guitarist, content creator, and digital nomad from Stockholm, Sweden. Travel back to the 90s with us as Stefan recalls the significant role that melancholic tracks by artists like the Cranberries and Moby played during his adolescence in Stockholm. Sit shotgun as we learn about Stefan’s musical growth into more and more extreme metal music. We finish our journey by exploring the transformative experiences that come with embracing a travel-driven, digital nomad lifestyle, and the profound connections between music, existential growth, and physical well-being. Pull up a folding chair, grab a drink, find a spot “around the fire,” and enjoy the conversation and community.

Follow your hosts David, Raza, and Carolina every other week as they embark on an epic adventure to find the songs that are stuck to us like audible tattoos that tell the story of who we are and where we’ve been, to help us figure out where we’re going. It’s a life story told through 6 songs.
